The 'concave'-shaped stone platform is located on the mountainside of a huge black mountain, protruding about fifty meters from the mountain;
Directly in front of the bottom of the mountain is a huge round hill;
In front of the hill is a forest;
In front of the woods is a blood-red patch, which looks like a red pond;
There are three giant trees at the end of the pond, standing as far as the eye can see;
There is a square pond slightly smaller than the red pond on the right side of the mound;
Behind the square pond is another huge round hill, slightly smaller than the one in front;
The left side of the large round hill in front looks like an endless prairie;
Looking carefully at the mountain where everyone is standing, there is not a single plant or tree as far as the eye can see, and the whole body is covered with dark cliffs;
There seems to be a huge 'sun' on the top of the mountain, lighting up the entire space;
The connection between the concave stone platform and the mountain is the cave where people come out. On both sides of the cave, there are stone steps going up and down the mountain. The stone steps are built against the mountain wall and are very steep.
Looking at what we saw, not to mention the dozen or so people before, even if there were another one or two hundred people, they probably wouldn't be able to be found in such a huge space in a short while.
The leading Taoist Priest Wen looked down at the surroundings for a long time and then slowly said to everyone:
"The space here is so huge, but there is no record of it before. Moreover, this place in Pindao Temple has a dead atmosphere, which is very strange. We must be careful."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Daozhang assigned a man from the General Administration to return along the original road, report the situation here to the ground, and asked:
"This place may not be a good place. Please don't send anyone down until we return!"
Everyone's primary goal is to find and save people. Since they discovered such a huge space, everyone is inevitably curious and wants to explore it carefully.
But there are currently 24 people, but there are four roads up and down. An old Taoist priest in the crowd took out a strange brass compass, made some deductions attentively, and then said to everyone:
"The upper left and the lower left are auspicious."
In the end, everyone decided: five monks and seven escorts would go down the mountain; the remaining Taoist priests, including Taoist Zhang and Tianci, would go up the mountain with six escorts.
In the unfamiliar space, although the spiritual energy is strong, there are special restrictions on flying, which makes Tianci feel very uncomfortable. After all, the mountain is so high and the steps are so steep. If he accidentally falls, he will be shattered to pieces.
The steps are 1.5 meters wide and loop up along the black mountain. Captain Zhang Daochang led the way, followed by six fully armed soldiers, Tianci and others.
"Such a high mountain, with no grass growing on it, all covered with black cliffs; the artificial steps winding up, such a strange mountain, and such a huge project, are not shown in the classics and history. Where is this? A different world? Has not been discovered?
A developed paradise? Or a heaven?"
Tianci silently followed the team, observed the surrounding scenery, and made random guesses. What he saw today was completely beyond his limited knowledge.
After resting several times, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain.
Looking at the incredible scenery in front of him, a soldier couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Have we reached heaven?"
The top of the Black Stone Mountain seems to have been neatly cut off, leaving a huge black platform; in the middle of the platform stands a cone-shaped 'fairy mountain'; there are all kinds of fairy grass, trees of different shapes, and colorful flowers that have never been seen before.
All over the hill; there are two huge pine trees on the top of the hill, standing quietly on both sides like welcoming pines, with their branches connected, holding up a 'sun', illuminating the entire space; a small river, along the gray mountain, from '
The top of the Fairy Mountain slowly flows down and falls into the Black Mountain Peak; the water forms a pool on the Black Mountain Peak, and the pool surrounds the Fairy Mountain.
The beautiful "fairy mountain" is reflected on the calm water, and the whole picture is like a fairyland. Looking at the dreamy scenery in front of them, the eleven people in the group were all in a daze, and for a moment they even forgot about themselves.
After climbing the stairs for so long, there are black cliffs everywhere with no grass or trees. Suddenly seeing this beautiful scenery, the huge contrast is enough to shock everyone.
After a long time, Daochang Zhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:
"Let's go around the mountain first and take a look at the situation."
Everyone walked along the black mountain top platform and circled the small "fairy mountain", and finally discovered the weirdness of this place. If this black mountain is regarded as the North Pole of the entire space, standing on the top of the mountain, one can only look south and down the mountain.
There are hills, ponds, etc., and the other three directions are all chaos and mist.
There is no doubt that the two groups of people who came in before did not reach the top of the mountain.
Everyone was discussing. Some suggested going down the mountain to meet up with another group. Some suggested continuing to climb the 'Fairy Mountain'. Obviously the 'Fairy Mountain' was more tempting. After all, we had already climbed here and listened to the exchanges between several Taoist priests.
, it seems that they all saw various rare herbs on the mountain, which are rare materials and treasures outside.
While everyone was discussing, suddenly a harsh bird call interrupted everyone's discussion, and everyone quickly formed a circle, alert on all sides.
"over there!"
Following Tianci's reminder, everyone looked in the direction Tianci pointed, and saw two big birds flying rapidly towards everyone from the bottom of the mountain. Accompanied by a harsh bird song, they flew above everyone's heads in an instant.
A huge strange bird lowered its head and glanced at the crowd, seeming to be a little curious about these strange visitors. It ignored the crowd, flapped its wings and flew towards the top of the fairy mountain.
The big bird in front has its wings spread out, with a single wing twenty meters long, like a huge owl, and its whole body is cyan; the other one is slightly smaller than the owl, like an eagle, with a snow-white head and a blood-red head.
The eagle's beak, yellow feathers, and two sharp eagle talons flew over everyone's heads, making everyone shudder. Although the two big birds look different, they have one thing in common:
Both eyes are blood red.
When the two big birds looked at the crowd, a breath of death rushed towards their faces instantly...
The five soldiers raised their rifles at the same time and were about to shoot. Chief Wenwen hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Don't move. These two birds are not living creatures. Your bullets are useless! It seems that their target is not us. Let's wait and see what happens."
Two big birds leaped over the crowd and headed straight to the top of Fairy Mountain. Their goal seemed to be the 'sun'. When they were about to reach the top of the mountain, an even bigger bird suddenly flew out from the top of the mountain and hit the big blue bird.
The owl immediately grabbed the big yellow eagle, and the two sides immediately started fighting. The big bird flying out of the fairy mountain was more than twice as big as the yellow eagle, and it looked even more strange: it was five colors all over, very gorgeous, but it had a human face.
, an eagle's beak, and a head full of black hair. After the five-color big bird knocked away the 'big owl', it stretched out its sharp claws to grab the yellow eagle. With its double size advantage, it grabbed the yellow eagle with its sharp claws.
The eagle's wings and beak were about to bite the eagle's neck; the big cyan owl quickly flew over to rescue, and the three big birds immediately fought together. Although the big owl and the big yellow eagle fought two against one, the five-color strange bird, with its huge
With his size advantage and sharper claws, he firmly has the upper hand.
After everyone communicated briefly, they carefully moved towards the mountainside while watching the three big birds fighting in the air:
"Three bird brothers, please don't hit us if you hit us!!"
This is not only the voice of God, but also the common voice of the eleven people present.
Judging from the speed and combat power displayed by the three big birds, it would be effortless for any one of them to kill these eleven people. Everyone could only pray silently and stay away from the battlefield. The most rational choice at the moment should be to go down the mountain quickly.
They were far away from the battlefield, but their huge curiosity made everyone choose to stay and want to see the outcome of this battle.
About ten minutes later, the brutal battle finally came to an end:
The huge head of the cyan owl was broken off, and the entire body of the yellow eagle was torn in half. The headless cyan owl and the half-body yellow eagle were still able to fly quickly down the mountain. If ordinary birds were so seriously injured,
, had long been declared dead. The two raptors seemed not only alive, but also capable of flying, but their flying postures were particularly weird.
The five-color bird with the head of a human and the body of a bird also looked scarred. Although its body was intact, many of its five-color feathers had been scratched off, and its bones were exposed in many places. The big bird slowly landed on the top of the mountain and began to slowly enjoy its trophies.
: The head of a cyan owl, half of the body of a yellow eagle. While enjoying the delicious food, I looked at the people at the foot of the mountain intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't move around yet, wait and see what happens. We may be able to fight on the top of this mountain. If we are on the stone steps of the mountain wall, we can only wait for death!"
As **wen spoke, he tightened the sword in his hand and stared at the big bird eating on the top of the mountain.
After enjoying the 'delicious food', Big Bird glanced at the people at the bottom of the mountain, turned around and disappeared from sight, seemingly not taking them seriously at all.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After relaxing slightly, Taoist Zhang commanded:
"Since there is this raptor guarding the top of the mountain, let's hurry down the mountain!"
Everyone nodded and turned around to walk down the mountain.
Tianci seemed to sense that the big bird meant no harm, and stared at the top of the mountain and suddenly said:
